A few months later she was sold for over double her purchase price and has since lowered tier record from 2.06 1-2 to 2.02 1-5 and the expectation is that she will event- ually pace in two minutes and then be retired to the brood mare ranks. A glance over the various stables shows most of the promin- ent trainers and their charges. Just at the tailend we note tlie following -—- Earle Avery worked his two-year-old pacing filly Vic- toria Vic an eighth in 19 seconds and had two new ones added to hisstable, viz: Dean Toddler. ‘Z. by Dean Hanover, and Major I-Ial 4, 2.10.

Everything points to this Pro- vince being a great source of supply to meet the demand for racing material in the United States, and it is important that every owner of a brood mare should endeavor to have pedigrees complete so that when they soil a colt or filly there will be no difficulty in having it registered. It will be well to note that the address of the headquarters of the United States Trotting Asso- ciation is now 1340 East Broad Sit.

Shakespeare said it:

"And oftentimes excusing of a fault

Dofh make the fault the worse by the excuse."

This is a. fact known to every. Md)’ but it took a Shakespeare to Pill. Into just the right words the iitlvusht that-was the knowledge o the masses. You and I. well, we know we make excuses. We would not be normal if we did nut, at soirne time or other, make excuggg o our actions and think that we hurl done right. Arid often we would be correct in our thinking. There are times when we ehuuld make excuses; but there are times W en we should keep quiet, The task Is to be able to ludge into lust what class our own individual case falls.

B"! Slime People go to extremes. Some have an excuse for every- thing; others never attempt to ex. cuse themselves for anything. The farmer, I hold. are more prevalent ‘t an the latter. And I think this s as it should be because if we do not at all times lieor the truth. we at least hear some interesting stories. Like the lad who, a few "w" Vii"! ago, told Rev. Dr. Mc- Mahon that he'd missed the "hmlihflyy (‘lljht o'clock Sunday Mass. It bud been a cold and frosty morning but Father McMahon ask. ed him why he'd migged,

"Well. Father. I didn't hear the clock go off."

beggriéiyyou set the alarm the night "Yes, Father."

"Well, wasn't ii ~l -k k

800d time?" ‘e L 0L eepmg "Yes. Father." .

n .

Dldnt the alarm go of! ln qlms to wake you?"

"No, Father. It-It didn't go eff at rill."

"Oh. I see. the clock broke." :‘No, Father."

edvWell then, boy, what happen. "Well well, clock froze!”

please, Father. the a

See what I mean? Ingenuity. Good excuses always make good lis- toning. The trouble with those who‘ make excuses is that they too of- ten fall into the rut of using the same old ones over and over again. This is _a poor attitude to take. It's like trying to pass an exam without Siiidyifil! for it. We can't do it and we can't expect much from the professor if hc knows we're iio! studying. On the Olhfli‘ luind, the knowledge that a student is mak- ing a conscious effort inclines a professor to look a little more len- iently on that student. In a like manner, the knowledge that a per- son is making a conscious effort to he original in his excuse should at lcast lighten the censure in the

mind of his listener.

sacs

Not that I encourage the making of excuses. Far be it from me to encourage anybody to spend his spare time thinking up ways and ITIOIITIS l0 (‘SCZIPQ SOTTIG CITOTB OI‘ some function where his presence is requested. And any person do- ing such a thing should remember that even though his will is his own, still his excuse is one that has probably been heard a thous-

and times before.

All of which is leading up to one thing. To those of you who may have noticed, there was no “Week at S. D. U." last week:

I have no excuse. O O I

Rink manager Mark McQuairl has the ice in really excellent con- dliion. and a special sk-ite is to be held tonight. Undoubtedly many from Charlottetown will attend.

Your columnist was talking to Des Burge at Thursday night's game. Des is a graduate of last year's class and has been in bed with a brick injury for the past few months. He's been up and about for a couple of weeks now and hopes to be as good as new soon. For a number of years Des was a for- u-zird on the football and basketball teams and a defenceman on the hockey team. We asked Des if he'd been skating or playing hockey since he was able to be up and around but he said all his athletics this winter would be confined to a few rough and tumble games of “forly-fives."

And now just a brief report on the games the Saints have partici- pntcd in since returning to college Jan. 10.

e 0 a

In hockey the Saints have played four games in a week, winning two and losing two. On Jan. 13. P. W. C. won 5-4. On Jan. 15, Sum- merside defeated tho Saints in Sumnierside in a game that had n little bit of everything-including hooker-by n score of 13-3. On Jan. 18, Saints won from Navy 3-2. On Jan. 20, Saints won from Summer- side 5-4- (they still know we're in the league, boys).

O O O

The basketball team has played two games in Summerslde winning both of them-the first against Schurman‘s 46-39. and the other against the ‘F. 42-38.

Just a word of warning-the Sen- ior Prom is coming up on Wed. Fcb. 2. Don't leave it too into to get your dates, boys.

School Teams Sc To Montague Tonight

It was learned last night that the Prince Street boys and girls teams will make a trip to Mon- tague tonight where they will meet the two corresponding teams from Montague High School in a twin hockey feature in the local rink there.

The two schools who have pro- vided pienty of keen competition

Team Wins

The "Monctou High School hockey team defeated Summsrside High by the score of 3 to 1 at the Cry- stal rink in Summerside last night. The Monctonians were con- siderably heavier than the local boys and controlled the play much of the time, although their first counter was of the flukey variety going in off a defencemanu skate from a lateral shot by McDougall. Summerside's lone tally was the result of a pretty play when Joey Schurman curried the wafer in along the right ice lane and pass- ed over to his brother, Paul, who shot the puck past Sleeves from right in front of the net. Joey Schurman got bruised across the chest half way in the last period and was forced to retire from the game. Delaney played a star game in the nets. -

Pirates Seeking Good Pitcher

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 21- (AP) — General manager A. Roy Hamey of Pittsburgh Pirates is a man of cou- victions.

Arid one is that the Buceo base- bailers are only one pitcher away from a serious National League flag bid in 1949.

"Another good pitcher would put us in fine shape," he declared io- day after returning from a long westward lunket. "We definitely don't want to trade anybody for a pitcher but we're anxious to bar- gain for chain-provided they don't want the franchise. too."

That seems to spoke rumors that outfielder Wally Westlake or other Buc hopefuls would go on the block to fill the hurling needs Branch Rickey of Brooklyn Dod- gers was reported to have aimed conversation involving pltchf’? Ralph Branca at the Bucs. But the Dodger deacon supposedly wanted
